Michael Bisping has now chimed in with his opinion of this bout. He took to his YouTube channel to discuss his findings.

“O’Malley believing in himself, being a man of his word being a man that’s willing to back up what he says. Took on the number-one contender, right?” he said. “The number-one ranked fighter pardon me, Petr Yan, went out there and just beat him in an absolute classic. That is a fight that people are going to watch back. ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley, take a bow, you pass the test with flying colors. Now I know people are going to say, ‘Hold on, Bisping, didn’t you think that the decision was kind of up in the air? Yeah, I did. But he got the job done. And it was a close fight, and it was a war. And he should be proud of himself.”
